Don't want to start a war but... As both a FA and TA guy who lurks here and rarely posts, good luck if you don't use TA. If you base a position only on FA you could be waiting a Loooong time for a stock to move. I could post example after example of companies trading at high levels with low growth and earnings (bad FA) and handfulls of companies with huge earnings and fast growth that trade at low PE's (great FA). The only way to win the FA game is to wait for the market to "find" the undervalued stock and move it enough to capture other's attention. If you don't use TA, you will have to use your gut which equals emotion. At this point you will lose. Even with TA, I have been caught holding a company for weeks before giving up and moving on. It sat for another 3 months staying in a tight range before it doubled within a couple more months. Good Luck with your choice, L3
